Port 443 — HTTPS

TCP/UDPWeb & HTTP Services

HTTPS normally uses 443. HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 commonly use TCP/TLS; HTTP/3 uses QUIC over UDP, so TCP alone does not cover every deployment.

Registry assignments, software defaults and local listeners are different things. A port number alone does not identify or secure a service.

Configuration and troubleshooting

Check bind addresses, certificate hostnames and certificate chains. If HTTP/3 is enabled, also verify the UDP listener, proxy and firewall path.

Important limitations

A reachable port does not prove certificate trust. Do not permanently bypass certificate checks; failure of HTTP/3 need not imply failure of HTTPS over TCP.

Read-only checks: run on the server host

Choose the commands for your OS. Check TCP and UDP separately. No result is not a lasting availability guarantee; inspect host and container separately.

Linux

sudo ss -ltnp 'sport = :443'
sudo ss -lunp 'sport = :443'

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -iTCP:443 -sTCP:LISTEN
sudo lsof -nP -iUDP:443

Windows PowerShell

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 443 -State Listen
Get-NetUDPEndpoint -LocalPort 443
